I am vulnerable I am really enjoying the fact that people are loving me being vulnerable. It’s very hard for me but I appreciate people being able to see themselves in my art.

A FLIPOP – Festival de Literatura POP aconteceu nos dias 07 e 08 de julho no auditório do Pavilhão Amarelo do Expo Center Norte, na Zona Norte de São Paulo. O evento foi idealizado pela Editora Seguinte, selo jovem do Grupo Editorial da Companhia das Letras, e tinha como objetivo principal promover encontros e debates para os leitores jovens, uma vez que não existe um festival literário voltado para esse público.

Durante todo o final de semana aconteceram 08 mesas com debates voltados à literatura contando com a presença de autores nacionais e internacionais. Os temas variavam entre o poder da internet nos dias de hoje, passando por um debate sobre o que é ser fã e, claro, dicas para construir uma boa narrativa. Durante cada debate era possível perceber o entusiasmo dos participantes em busca de conhecimentos para construir bons enredos e ganhar novos leitores.

A autora Chris Salles é um grande sucesso na plataforma Wattpad e contou que nem tudo são flores nesse meio digital. Foi publicando online que ela conseguiu contrato com uma grande editora, mas para isso, ela precisou batalhar bastante para conseguir atingir um bom número de leitores.

Já Socorro Acioli, autora premiada, aproveitou seu espaço no debate para contar um pouco de sua carreira e suas dificuldades para aprender a arte da escrita. Acioli que já foi aluna de Gabriel Garcia Márquez, diz sentir falta de criatividade nos novos autores. Para ela, é importante que as pessoas escrevam sobre aquilo que conhece, sair um pouco do clichê é mais que necessário. É necessário que os autores saibam sobre o que estão escrevendo e nem sempre ficar preso em uma tendência literária, afinal, o processo para se criar um livro desde sua escrita até a impressão é longa, e ninguém pode garantir o sucesso de uma obra.

O norte-americano Benjamin Alire Sáenz, participou da mesa sobre seu lançamento “ A Lógica Inexplicável da Minha Vida” e contou sobre o motivo pelo qual ele escreve para os jovens. Sáenz acredita que falta diálogo entre os adultos e os mais novos, o que em suas palavras é um erro, já que todos nós possuímos problemas e deveríamos nos ajudar. O autor foi aplaudido em pé por duas vezes ao falar sobre a importância do amor ao próximo. Sua palestra foi considerada a mais emocionante, deixando diversas pessoas com lágrimas nos olhos.

Ficou claro para todos os que participaram no evento que a proposta era aproximar mais o leitor do autor, tanto que, em nenhum momento os seguranças precisaram ser acionados. Todos andaram livremente, sempre muito simpáticos e atenciosos.

  A perfect book for a summer day.

I will be reading it come what may.

Whether on the beach or in a boat,

I’ll be happy like a billy goat.

Vampires and demons, oh my!

It’s not a sweet lullaby.

Witches and darkness galore.

It surely won’t be a bore.
